WILSON’S LITERARY STYLE William Bayard Hale, formerly one of Woodrow Wilson’s warmest admirers, and who happily re- covered written a book. He calls it “The Story of a Style” and describes it as a psychoanalytic study of Woodrow Wilson. He subjects the pres- ident’s writings and utterances to a merciless and laborious analysis. He is convinced that Mr. Wil- son uses adjectives far in excess of the require- ments of good expression and uses them chiefly to the end of gisguising deficiency in thought. In a statistical comparison of verbs and adject- ives employed by Mr. Wilson and other writers of accepted high class, using the first one hundred and eight words on a certain page as a standard of measurement, Mr. Hale finds that Wilson uses one verb and thirty adjectives as against Thomas Hardy's fourteen verbs and one adjective, Car- lyle’s twelve verbs and four adjectives, McCau- ley’s eleven verbs and two adjectives. Similar results are disclosed in comparisons with other writers of equal prominence in literature. Mr. Hale grants a perfect, genuius to Mr. Wil- son for superfluous characterization. Discussing Wilson's “George Washington,” the author says: “Tt is difficult—he himself would say, most dif- ficult—for Mr. Wilson to state anything without intensification. If the object which swims under his ken is not, as it is likely to be, ‘absolutely,’ it is tolerably certain to be ‘most’ or ‘very’ some- thing or other. On a single page, for instance, we get ‘insatiable relish,’ ‘unstinted work,’ ‘unflag- ging discipline’ and ‘tireless ride.” On another page we read of ‘the supreme and final test’ and of ‘perfect praise crowned with full meaning.’ ” The author’s final accusation is, indulging in aristocratic affectations, employing cheap and meaningless symbolism and of constantly fleeing from fact amid clouds of rhetorical fancy. Ce WHEN LAW GOVERNED FASHIONS In the ancient days all fashion had a significance and the fashion books of those who made rai- ment in the earliest known period were as sacred and dignified and likewise as inflexible as the laws of the Medes and Persians were reputed to be in a later period. The garb of man was his insignia of office. In Oriental antiquity long before the styles that originated in Eden startled the world the costume of the dragon was a court costume in China worn only by the Sons of Heaven of the Celestial Em- pire. All around the border of these flowing robes of the ancient emperors the mighty beast ca- yorted with flaming eyes, gazing toward green mounain slopes, resplendently covertd with yel- low flowers and prehistoric beasts. This was worn when votive offerings were made to the hon- orable ancestors. Princes employed the mountain motif with its guardian dragons, while the sun, moon and stars in plenipotentiary raiment signified high rank and extreme dignity. Those occupying lower station at court had their clothes embellished with. embroi- dered flowers and beasts of milder disposition. Man of today tells the world of his dignified station in life by pompous bearing and glacial manner; but it is difficult, so the French tell us, to distinguish an American gentleman from a waiter in a cafe. Ancient fashion books were not of frequent publication to be thrown aside by fickle fashion after a glance and sneer at the hideousness of pre- vailing modes, they were permanent, handed down from generation to generation. On the hand-painted pages of the little Chinese folders, some cf which still exist, are the costumes as worn by courtiers, with directions for the mak- ing of each robe. . If a prince of the blood found his reception robe a bit frayed about the edges, he prepared a stately document for the court tailor, whose busi- ness it was to search the fashion archives for the design, cut and color of the potentate’s station and rank. f In the time of the Emperor Ming, 75-58 B. C., that obedient servant of his ancestors instructed the savants of the empire to search through an- cient costumes, paintings and manuscripts for the laws governing the costuming of a proper court, strictly to the prescribed designs. court alone; the people were prohibited by sump- tuary laws to indulge in the contact with its soft folds. - I: is somewhat different in this day, for there is scarcely a woman throughout the civilized world who does not wear silk in some form or other. As for designs, with all the changes time has wrought, there is no design of the ancient courts, whether of mighty prince or lowly servitor, that has not served the demands of modern fashion. Silks and fashions are closely linked through- out the centuries. Modes changed to conform to the new fabrics as they were brought into each country. There were the ladies of Greece who first discovered that the heavy Oriental fabrics could be unraveled and rewoven, like their linen garments, into filmy, translucent materrials of wondrous beauty. ‘ Ornamental silks were not introduced into Eu- rope until about 500 A. D. and with them came influence of Byzantium on the styles of the lay. ical crusaders that silk weavers were brought into Italy, and the fame of Venetian and Florentine fashions spread abroad. When silks reached the courts of France it lent itself to the caprices of the favorites of the Louis and changed its folds from clinging gracefulness to the bouffant taffetas of the later periods. For the sake of fashion, improvements were made in looms and mechanical details. The mod- ern manufacturer of the twentieth century has a printing machine that will run off sixty yards of silk in one minute in as many as eight different colors. Oe OS eS ee ae IT’S BAD STUFF Lay off the home brew. It is not only danger- ous, but is detrimental to health. Physicians over the country find an epidemic of gastritis and their alarm has been brought to the attention of health and revenue departments. The imperfect so the doctors declare. Those who make their own, as a rule, cannot wait for the completion of the natural process and the result is ordinarily a nasty and unwholesome mess that has a deleterious ef- fect upon the stomach and digestive organs, dis- organizes the entire system and renders the ordi- nary person wild. The substitution of home brew for regular beer for tonic purposes may be set down’as not good! for what’alls'you ‘and you had "better cut it out unless you Want to spend your remaining days in a hospital for incurables or a nut factory. manufacture of beer be permitted for use formed- ical purposes on physicians’ prescriptions, has re- ceived attention, but no encouragement. There is no power except the vote of the people can re- peal or amend the eighteenth amendment, and no power except Congress that can alter the Volstead act. These are the laws of the land. Obey them and quit trifling with home brew.

STATE WORKING ONLY PART TIME Mild Winter Cut Down Fuel Consumption in Wyoming, Says Mine inspector on ‘Trip to Casper R. A. Hotchkiss, mine inspector for the northern district of Wyoming, was in the city yesterday from a trip over the lower end of his dis- trict. ‘ He talked briefly on the coal sit- uation in his territory, which, owing to the mild winter is not reassuring. In the Sheridan field the men are only able to secure one day’s work a week, because there is no demand for production. The Big Horn _ basin mines are in but little, ff any better situation, The larger mines in the Union Pa- cific country are working three days a week. ‘All this seems impossible after the several past cold winters and during the war period when working stead- fly full time the demand ‘could not be supplied, and suffering in many portions of the country was intense. The general coal situation of the country, aside from prices to con- sumers, is much improved. There is coal in plenty and ample labor to produce it, ,One feature particularly affecting thé eastern field is that the mines in France, Belgium and Ger- many have been largely restored from war destruction and are again able to supply the needs of these countries and such neighbors as de- pend upon them and this has curtail- ed American exportation in great measure, providing a surplus which to obtain a market operators in the’ east and middle west are extending their territory to farther west and northwest which in turn limits the market for western production. A strétch of cold snappy weather would make quite a difference in the coal trade. When asked what sentiment, if any, he found in his district for amend- ment or change in the workmen's compensation uct, Mr. Hotchkiss said, “I am not giving my personal opin- ion, but am stating such sentiment as has come to my knowledge through operators and workmen. All are ap- parently satisfied with the working and administration of the law in every particular save one, and that is in the rates of compensation which are regarded as low in comparison with the higher rates that rule gen- erally in everything. I have heard of no urge for change bur I have heard considerable ad- vecacy of let things alone.” _ The Casper Daily Crihune State Engineer to Address Next Forum Meeting Frank C.

JAZZ It was a graceful courtesy on the part of Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution, and member of the Democratic National Committee, to invite Warren Harding to deliver a message through his! newspaper to the people of the South as he passed through the city to spend a brief vacation in Florida. Mr. Harding’s message was one calculated to set the Southern people to thinking more of their business affairs and less of their prejudices. It contained just ‘enough of the Harding spirit of con- ciliation to make it palatable. For the rest, it was a frank, sincere and friendly communication calculated to inspire respect and foster the esteem already felt for the new president by the South- ern people. Mr. Harding’s message follows: “Of course, I have no message to the people of the South that I would not gladly utter to all the United States. Perhaps the South would be iner- ested to know, however, of one ambition which 1 cherish. I want to be the instrumentality in. estab- lishing that complete concord of union which I hold to be essential to the American fulfillment. “T realize how the political solidarity of the South followed the unfofrtunate days of the civil/ war. I know how that solidarity has been encour- aged on the one hand, and [| think I understand the desire to break it on the other hand. “Tt is not specifically a Republican ambition. It is, rather to be accredited to a desire to estab-| lish complete mutuality of purpose and oneness of ambition in America. “There is a little left of the old-time hostility and there is not any occasion for any section of America to pin its aspirations to the fortunes of one party. I think it is fair to assume that all po- litical parties mean to be best for our common country. As a Republican, I believe that many of the Republican policies are calculated to best serve all of America. “For instance, I believe there is a great sig- nificance in the coming tariff Congress to be held) in Atlanta.
